Chapter 01

[CORA'S POV]

The sounds of our feet's racing through the forest like leaf’s been washed away by the wind with my mum holding my hand tightly.

I looked behind to see Kaden using his wolf powers to fight off rogues headed to attack us as he continues in the pace.

A trap captures my mum and an arrow pierce through my father’s heart.

"Please don't hurt my mum." I cried out.

"Cora!" Kaden, the love of my life calls my name in trembling as they placed a dagger over his neck in return.

"Execute them." I heard the general beta wolf say while looking at my father who was on his knees with my mum.

"For the practice of dark magic and the help given by your kind to demons, you and all accomplices are ruled out for death by the general Alpha's Command." The Alpha's Beta with blue eyes says as he carries the aura of the general alpha shooting them with the rest rogues and I could see witches poisoned bullets piercing through their skins like they were wild creatures.

Right before my very own eyes.

I screamed as Lightning strikes through the air creating a powerful air wind and still, this beast of a Beta wolf dared to look at me.

The audacity and wickedness.

"You on the other hand... Will make a good grand witch of the pack." I heard him say as he eye rapes my body wickedly.

"Never will I!" I swore as I got knocked out of my entire bizarre vision trying to get myself back, to wake up from this nightmare until I finally do so.

I opened my eyes seeing I was on white bed, three women on white were seated by my side as I got up from my bed.

"Where am I?" I asked her in return trying to understand the room I was now inside now... Because It definitely wasn't mine.

The blurriness disappeared and I figured it was the room of my parents.

The grand witches that served the pack for all their lives, killed like animals.

I was beginning to crack slowly from inside my heart before I saw three ladies seated over the couch in the room.

They were putting on white clothes at the side of my bed facing outside the window.

These three women turned looking at me in return and once I saw their faces, my heart crumbled from the inside as their eyes were so red and full of genuine tears.

"No, don't tell me... Mum? Dad? Kaden?" I asked them before they rushed towards me as I screamed out loudly in the pain that was now crushing through my chest.

"You can't blame them Cora, they have to follow the general alpha's command!" One of the elderly women said as she held me who kept crying bitterly over her arms.

"Why?"

"What did they do so wrong?"

"They killed them all, my family." I cried bitterly as one of the elderly women started to enchant the chant of peace to calm the pain that was now bursting out of me.

I was faced to a side and I began to calm down just before I looked at the wall to see my mother and fathers picture frame over the wall... I could not hold it in at all.

It was painful as hell.

I couldn't bear knowing they got killed.

I rushed out from their embrace as I opened the rooms door, seeing one of the rogues standing by the side as he looks at me with a saddened face... He was dad's best friend... I turned away as he tried to approach me to stop me from leaving.

I escaped from his outreach.

He actually joined in the cold murder of my parents... I was broken beyond compare.

The tears in my eyes just kept pouring like water as I rushed down from the stairs seeing that I was now putting on a white lacey cloth, even tripping and falling down to the ground till I finally hit the main floor.

That was dramatic... Yep!

I know, but I guess pain can hurt that much.

I got up on my feet.

This had to be a nightmare.

I rushed outside to see a fire burning from the forest... I used my magic to increase my speed hearing the three elderly women calling me from behind as I ran there.

Once I reached, I saw the Alpha standing with the rest rogues as my parents, including my boyfriend - Kaden who had already been buried under stones.

With fire burning in the midst of the burial ground and I took a swallow of my saliva as everyone began to stare at me.

"They served you!" I cried out.

"They saved all your lives! thousands of times! and this is what you pay them with?" I cried asking while pointing at all of them.

"Cora!" I hear the alpha say as the three elderly witches held me by my arms bringing me down to my knees as the alpha walks towards where I knelt down with the three elderly witches.

Then the alpha stands in my front of me with his muscular looking sexy body as he kept staring at me like something he could just kill at any time he wants.

"Please spare her disrespectfulness, she's young and panicking over what was done." The elderly witch says to him in return as he raises his hand showing his claws while he keeps his eyes straight at mine.

I closed my eyes waiting for the worsts.

Typically I could get killed with a throat slash from him too.

"Bring her to my chambers this night, dressed in the best wears...I need to study her carefully too." He says out.

Then I heard his footsteps leaving my sight and when I opened my eyes to see him again... He was gone and the rest people followed leaving too in return.

"Cora, please be strong, I know it hurts but you must woman up to this situation and understand this is not the end." Esther, one of the elderly women says in return before she lets me go including the other two who were consoling me.

The air became rather windy after that, as the color of the sky changed while I kept thinking of the good memories I had with my parents, not to talk of the love and affection that I and Kaden shared together.

We never had any sexual relationship but at least... We loved each other so much.

I breath out trying to release myself of this pain but it rather became a fire appearing over my palm as I looked at the graves of my lost ones... I was now really alone.

"Ahh!" I screamed into the now raining shy as I commanded the plants to grow over the rocks placed over their bodies into huge, mighty and powerful cherry trees.

Ornamental cherry trees began to grow individually from their graves as lighting strikes from the sky and headed straight into me with my veins glowing in this embrace, which made these trees grow even taller as I gracefully danced the dance of the spirits about these graves.

"I promise you all!" I said in a loud voice as I finally bowed at their graves.

"The Alpha who took your lives will pay with his blood." I said as my magic caused a bloom and storm of ornamental cherry tree flowers with lighting sparks in them roaring all over the place as I came to a halt on my knees in pain and hatred.

This cannot be their end.

"Cora! We can help you..." I heard multiple voices saying, together with whispering sounds through the forest.

"Who are you?" I asked immediately.

"Oh well... Demons!" It responded with a crocked double deep voice.

This is rather the beginning of an End.
